There are different rice dishes available as well as accompanying stews. I don't eat meat and I don't like fish, so the woman behind the counter, I assume is Betty, was able to accommodate me by combining two rice offerings (Jollof and Waakye) with a red sauce and a spicy condiment. A very nice and clean establishment. She was very gracious. I'll be back.

At her invitation I read the menu first to prepare. I started with a grapefruit lemon cocktail ( non alcoholic) followed with fresh bread,chicken pie,and coconut rice. Good for a picky eater, the food was fresh, well spiced, really yummy. I tried akara bean cake - these are really cool fried veggie fritters. 10/10 will try again. My companion enjoyed the whole tilapia. Dessert of puff puff and chocolate ice cream ended the meal. Puff puff are lovely bits of fried lightly spiced dough. Like donut holes with a good passport. The restaurant is vibrant and radiates good energy. The owners are welcoming . Just Jollof Kitchen gets a high recommendation.

I later realized it seems like more of a takeout restaurant. I ordered the peanut butter soup with goat and a side of fufu. I was expecting the peanut butter soup to have more of a peanut butter taste, but it did not - it tasted more like a stew, but still delicious! It was my first time trying goat so I wasn't sure what to expect. I really enjoyed it, the meat was super tender and flavorful. The fufu complemented the meal nicely as well. The person taking our order, as well as the chef were super nice. The chef came out and made sure we were enjoying everything. Overall a very good experience. Prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend for takeout versus dine-in.

I was told you know it's a legit place since inside, there's hanging one of the most common Ghanaian house decorations, the wall mat with the famous woman smiling from ear to ear, holding a vessel and a large bowl. This place is definitely a hole in the wall, resembling more of a closet on the side of a building than an actual eatery. It's cash only, be prepared, and also you might have to ring the doorbell since the guy isn't always there attentive waiting at the door. Prices were fair for what they were offering. We got the Banku with okra soup and Waakye with goat meat. Both were legit, according to my friend, and reminded him of home so much that he closed his eyes. He said we definitely need to go back.

Okay so as a West African that eats Nigerian and French West African food all the time, I'm always…read morevery skeptical to try West African restaurants because I worry the flavors will be Americanized. I heard so many amazing things about Heritage Spice so I absolutely had to check it out! Also I friend of mine recently catered from Heritage Spice and the food was delicious (I loved the jolllof. It had the perfect smoky party Jollof flavor). I'll start off by saying the menu items are pricey and the prices nearly turned me away...but the food was INCREDIBLE! I seldomly come across a Nigerian restaurant that fully hits the mark on flavors and keeps everything true to the culture. I tried the egusi soup with goat meat and fufu. The stew had a generous amount of goat meat and the egusi tasted very fresh. There was a good level of heat without it being overly spicy. The spices in the stew reminded me of my grandmas home cooking. Lastly, the fufu itself was soft and tasted very fresh as well. The egusi stew truly hit the spot and was the highlight of my work week. Overall 8.5/10 for the egusi and fufu (8/10 for the jollof I tried at a catered event and 10/10 for the puff puff I tried at a catered event). I also ordered the food on Grubhub so that most likely inflated the prices. I'm excited to try out other items on their menu! When I went to the restaurant I was hoping to also get the puff puff because I tried their puff puff at a catered event but I was told they only sell puff puff on Sundays or do pre orders for specialty items like puff puff or meat pie.

I did order my first meal by Uber eats, which was pretty tasty but small portions and I decided to visit for takeaway. Still nothing changed, the portions of it was so small and a little pricey, food was tasty. Everything in NYC has comma in it. Shops was decent, mainly for takeout only, suya was good, egwusi soups was okay, vegetable soups didn't taste that good, lacks seasoning. Fufu was tiny! I will definitely order some dishes again, service was excellent, my waiting period was not long compared to other African restaurants in the neighborhood. Location was great and waiting area looks clean / organized. See ya next time.
